Here are the top potential home inspection issues you need to look for before putting your home on the market:

Wood rot or deteriorating siding: This is a very common issue, so take a walk around your house and check for any rotting wood or deteriorating siding. If you see symptoms of this, get it fixed and save yourself a lot of grief down the road.

“Hopefully, checking for these items will help you have an issue-free home inspection.”

Downspout extensions: You want water to flow away from your home, so buy some downspout extensions for it and make sure that it does.

Auto-reverse capability for your garage door(s): Your garage door should have a system installed where it can auto-reverse when it’s closing if it detects an object in its path or meets some kind of resistance.

Electrical outlet coverings: You need to make sure all of your unused outlets are covered so the home is safer.

An oven anti-tip device: If your oven doesn’t have an anti-tip device, you can simply call its manufacturer and they’ll send you one for free.

Hopefully, checking for these items will help you have an issue-free home inspection and make your buyer feel safe and secure in the home they’re buying.
